Abstract:

This study was designed to assess the impact of entrepreneurship development entrepreneurs (EDP) in generating income (IG) and employment (EG) covering ten selected local government of Kano state. A sample of 300 entrepreneurs engaged in different business activities was taken for the study using stratified and simple random sampling. Descriptive statistics, Correlation, OLS regression and ANOVA analysis was employed. From the empirical result a positive and significant impact is seen on income generation by entrepreneurship development programme, while negative impact is reported on employment generation. The study concludes that most of the entrepreneurs in Kano state are operating a small micro business with no plan on expansion within the shortest possible period of time because, majority of the entrepreneurs operate their business individually without employing any labour this is due to factors such as business capacity, low capital, low rate of return and low profit etc. there is a need for policy makers to enlighten the existing (small, micro and medium)enterprises on the need to expand their operation which in the long rum implies provision of job opportunities.
